Using EMDR with Severely Dissociative Clients
2008 EMDRIA Conference DVD Recording with Presenter Gerald Puk, Ph.D. & Discussant Panel with Gary Peterson, M.D.

Approved for 4.5 EMDRIA Credits
Approved for 4.5 Continuing Education Credits

Patients experiencing severe and repeated psychological trauma are among the most complicated patients to be treated in psychotherapy. Their treatment tends to be a multi-faceted approach of which EMDR is only one part, albeit a very important component. The objectives of the presentation are to assist the treated clinicians in identifying the self-regulation deficits and degree of dissociation of their patients, as well as conceptualizing and implementing an effective treatment plan for the patient. This will include integrating the traditional three-stage model (stabilization, trauma processing and integration) of working with multiply-traumatized patients with the EMDR eight phase treatment model. Emphasis will be placed on stabilization, identifying when your patient is ready to begin trauma processing, as well as pacing the trauma work and managing clinician challenges during EMDR sessions.
The program timing will be three one hour segments of the DVD interspersed with three half hour discussion periods.
